Tokyo Drifter is a 1966 Japanese crime drama directed by Seijun Suzuki. Tetso (Tetsuya Watari) and his former Yakuza boss Kurata (Ryuji Kita) have abandoned their criminal ways. Rival Yakuza boss Otsuka (Eimei Esumi) attempts to cheat Kurata in a business deal. Tetsu intervenes, and is drawn back into the criminal underworld. Otsuka sends alcoholic enforcer Tatsu (Tamio Kawaji) to eliminate Tetsu. Tanaka (Eiji Go), Otsuka's second in command, is also sent after Tetsu. Tatsu and Tanaka relentlessly pursue Tetsu, drawing others into the fray.
The following weapons were used in the film Tokyo Drifter:
Throughout the film Tatsu (Tamio Kawaji) uses a pistol resembling a suppressed replica FN Model 1910 with a nonstandard rear sight, no extractor and misplaced ejection port. Kenji (Hideaki Nitani), Tanaka (Eiji Go), Otsuka (Eimei Esumi) and Umetani (Isao Tamagawa) also use replica Model 1910s.
Kurata (Ryuji Kita) uses a Beretta Model 70 replica. Otsuka, Tetsu (Tetsuya Watari) and Kumamoto (Hiroshi Chô) are also seen with it. Although the pistol is Kurata's in each scene, several different replicas may have been used for filming.
In the famous gun-tossing scene late in the film, Tetsu uses an M1911A1 paper cap-firing replica with the hammer removed. Otsuka (Eimei Esumi), Tanaka and Mutsuko (Tomoko Hamakawa) are seen with similar replicas early in the film.
